x86/boot: Move mem_encrypt= parsing to the decompressor

commit cd0d9d92c8bb46e77de62efd7df13069ddd61e7d upstream.

The early SME/SEV code parses the command line very early, in order to
decide whether or not memory encryption should be enabled, which needs
to occur even before the initial page tables are created.

This is problematic for a number of reasons:
- this early code runs from the 1:1 mapping provided by the decompressor
or firmware, which uses a different translation than the one assumed by
the linker, and so the code needs to be built in a special way;
- parsing external input while the entire kernel image is still mapped
writable is a bad idea in general, and really does not belong in
security minded code;
- the current code ignores the built-in command line entirely (although
this appears to be the case for the entire decompressor)

Given that the decompressor/EFI stub is an intrinsic part of the x86
bootable kernel image, move the command line parsing there and out of
the core kernel. This removes the need to build lib/cmdline.o in a
special way, or to use RIP-relative LEA instructions in inline asm
blocks.

This involves a new xloadflag in the setup header to indicate
that mem_encrypt=on appeared on the kernel command line.

x86/efistub: Remap kernel text read-only before dropping NX attribute

x86/efistub: Remap kernel text read-only before dropping NX attribute

commit 9c55461040a9264b7e44444c53d26480b438eda6 upstream.

Currently, the EFI stub invokes the EFI memory attributes protocol to
strip any NX restrictions from the entire loaded kernel, resulting in
all code and data being mapped read-write-execute.

The point of the EFI memory attributes protocol is to remove the need
for all memory allocations to be mapped with both write and execute
permissions by default, and make it the OS loader's responsibility to
transition data mappings to code mappings where appropriate.

Even though the UEFI specification does not appear to leave room for
denying memory attribute changes based on security policy, let's be
cautious and avoid relying on the ability to create read-write-execute
mappings. This is trivially achievable, given that the amount of kernel
code executing via the firmware's 1:1 mapping is rather small and
limited to the .head.text region. So let's drop the NX restrictions only
on that subregion, but not before remapping it as read-only first.

x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code

It is no longer necessary to be cautious when referring to global
variables in the position independent decompressor code, now that it is
built using PIE codegen and makes an assertion in the linker script that
no GOT entries exist (which would require adjustment for the actual
runtime load address of the decompressor binary).

This means global variables can be referenced directly from C code,
instead of having to pass their runtime addresses into C routines from
asm code, which needs to happen at each call site. Do so for the code
that will be called directly from the EFI stub after a subsequent patch,
and avoid the need to duplicate this logic a third time.

x86/boot/compressed: Handle unaccepted memory

The firmware will pre-accept the memory used to run the stub. But, the
stub is responsible for accepting the memory into which it decompresses
the main kernel. Accept memory just before decompression starts.

The stub is also responsible for choosing a physical address in which to
place the decompressed kernel image. The KASLR mechanism will randomize
this physical address. Since the accepted memory region is relatively
small, KASLR would be quite ineffective if it only used the pre-accepted
area (EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY). Ensure that KASLR randomizes among the
entire physical address space by also including EFI_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY.

x86/boot: Robustify calling startup_{32,64}() from the decompressor code

After commit ce697ccee1a8 ("kbuild: remove head-y syntax"), I
started digging whether x86 is ready for removing this old cruft.
Removing its objects from the list makes the kernel unbootable.
This applies only to bzImage, vmlinux still works correctly.
The reason is that with no strict object order determined by the
linker arguments, not the linker script, startup_64 can be placed
not right at the beginning of the kernel.
Here's vmlinux.map's beginning before removing:

ffffffff81000000 vmlinux.o:(.head.text)
ffffffff81000000 startup_64
ffffffff81000070 secondary_startup_64
ffffffff81000075 secondary_startup_64_no_verify
ffffffff81000160 verify_cpu

and after:

ffffffff81000000 vmlinux.o:(.head.text)
ffffffff81000000 pvh_start_xen
ffffffff81000080 startup_64
ffffffff810000f0 secondary_startup_64
ffffffff810000f5 secondary_startup_64_no_verify

Not a problem itself, but the self-extractor code has the address of
that function hardcoded the beginning, not looking onto the ELF
header, which always contains the address of startup_{32,64}().

So, instead of doing an "act of blind faith", just take the address
from the ELF header and extract a relative offset to the entry
point. The decompressor function already returns a pointer to the
beginning of the kernel to the Asm code, which then jumps to it,
so add that offset to the return value.
This doesn't change anything for now, but allows to resign from the
"head object list" for x86 and makes sure valid Kbuild or any other
improvements won't break anything here in general.

x86/boot: Put globals that are accessed early into the .data section

The helpers in arch/x86/boot/compressed/efi.c might be used during
early boot to access the EFI system/config tables, and in some cases
these EFI helpers might attempt to print debug/error messages, before
console_init() has been called.

__putstr() checks some variables to avoid printing anything before
the console has been initialized, but this isn't enough since those
variables live in .bss, which may not have been cleared yet. This can
lead to a triple-fault occurring, primarily when booting in legacy/CSM
mode (where EFI helpers will attempt to print some debug messages).

Fix this by declaring these globals in .data section instead so there
is no dependency on .bss being cleared before accessing them.

x86/boot: Port I/O: Allow to hook up alternative helpers

Port I/O instructions trigger #VE in the TDX environment. In response to
the exception, kernel emulates these instructions using hypercalls.

But during early boot, on the decompression stage, it is cumbersome to
deal with #VE. It is cleaner to go to hypercalls directly, bypassing #VE
handling.

Add a way to hook up alternative port I/O helpers in the boot stub with
a new pio_ops structure. For now, set the ops structure to just call
the normal I/O operation functions.

out*()/in*() macros redefined to use pio_ops callbacks. It eliminates
need in changing call sites. io_delay() changed to use port I/O helper
instead of inline assembly.

x86/tdx: Detect TDX at early kernel decompression time

The early decompression code does port I/O for its console output. But,
handling the decompression-time port I/O demands a different approach
from normal runtime because the IDT required to support #VE based port
I/O emulation is not yet set up. Paravirtualizing I/O calls during
the decompression step is acceptable because the decompression code
doesn't have a lot of call sites to IO instruction.

To support port I/O in decompression code, TDX must be detected before
the decompression code might do port I/O. Detect whether the kernel runs
in a TDX guest.

Add an early_is_tdx_guest() interface to query the cached TDX guest
status in the decompression code.

TDX is detected with CPUID. Make cpuid_count() accessible outside
boot/cpuflags.c.

TDX detection in the main kernel is very similar. Move common bits
into <asm/shared/tdx.h>.

The actual port I/O paravirtualization will come later in the series.

x86/boot/compressed: Avoid duplicate malloc() implementations

The early malloc() and free() implementation in include/linux/decompress/mm.h
(which is also included by the static decompressors) is static. This is
fine when the only thing interested in using malloc() is the decompression
code, but the x86 early boot environment may use malloc() in a couple places,
leading to a potential collision when the static copies of the available
memory region ("malloc_ptr") gets reset to the global "free_mem_ptr" value.
As it happened, the existing usage pattern was accidentally safe because each
user did 1 malloc() and 1 free() before returning and were not nested:

extract_kernel() (misc.c)
choose_random_location() (kaslr.c)
mem_avoid_init()
handle_mem_options()
malloc()
...
free()
...
parse_elf() (misc.c)
malloc()
...
free()

Once the future FGKASLR series is added, however, it will insert
additional malloc() calls local to fgkaslr.c in the middle of
parse_elf()'s malloc()/free() pair:

parse_elf() (misc.c)
malloc()
if (...) {
layout_randomized_image(output, &ehdr, phdrs);
malloc() <- boom
...
else
layout_image(output, &ehdr, phdrs);
free()

To avoid collisions, there must be a single implementation of malloc().
Adjust include/linux/decompress/mm.h so that visibility can be
controlled, provide prototypes in misc.h, and implement the functions in
misc.c. This also results in a small size savings:

$ size vmlinux.before vmlinux.after
text data bss dec hex filename

Disable the exception handling before booting the kernel to make sure
any exceptions that happen during early kernel boot are not directed to
the pre-decompression code.

x86/boot/compressed: Use builtin mem functions for decompressor

Since commits

c041b5ad8640 ("x86, boot: Create a separate string.h file to provide standard string functions")
fb4cac573ef6 ("x86, boot: Move memcmp() into string.h and string.c")

the decompressor stub has been using the compiler's builtin memcpy,
memset and memcmp functions, _except_ where it would likely have the
largest impact, in the decompression code itself.

Remove the #undef's of memcpy and memset in misc.c so that the
decompressor code also uses the compiler builtins.

The rationale given in the comment doesn't really apply: just because
some functions use the out-of-line version is no reason to not use the
builtin version in the rest.

Replace the comment with an explanation of why memzero and memmove are
being #define'd.

Drop the suggestion to #undef in boot/string.h as well: the out-of-line
versions are not really optimized versions, they're generic code that's
good enough for the preboot environment. The compiler will likely
generate better code for constant-size memcpy/memset/memcmp if it is
allowed to.

Most decompressors' performance is unchanged, with the exception of LZ4
and 64-bit ZSTD.

Before After ARCH
LZ4 73ms 10ms 32
LZ4 120ms 10ms 64
ZSTD 90ms 74ms 64

Measurements on QEMU on 2.2GHz Broadwell Xeon, using defconfig kernels.

Decompressor code size has small differences, with the largest being
that 64-bit ZSTD decreases just over 2k. The largest code size increase
was on 64-bit XZ, of about 400 bytes.

x86: Add support for ZSTD compressed kernel

- Add support for zstd compressed kernel

- Define __DISABLE_EXPORTS in Makefile

- Remove __DISABLE_EXPORTS definition from kaslr.c

- Bump the heap size for zstd.

- Update the documentation.

Integrates the ZSTD decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code.

Zstandard requires slightly more memory during the kernel decompression
on x86 (192 KB vs 64 KB), and the memory usage is independent of the
window size.

__DISABLE_EXPORTS is now defined in the Makefile, which covers both
the existing use in kaslr.c, and the use needed by the zstd decompressor
in misc.c.

This patch has been boot tested with both a zstd and gzip compressed
kernel on i386 and x86_64 using buildroot and QEMU.

Additionally, this has been tested in production on x86_64 devices.
We saw a 2 second boot time reduction by switching kernel compression
from xz to zstd.

x86/boot: Disable RSDP parsing temporarily

The original intention to move RDSP parsing very early, before KASLR
does its ranges selection, was to accommodate movable memory regions
machines (CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE) to still be able to do memory
hotplug.

However, that broke kexec'ing a kernel on EFI machines because depending
on where the EFI systab was mapped, on at least one machine it isn't
present in the kexec mapping of the second kernel, leading to a triple
fault in the early code.

Fixing this properly requires significantly involved surgery and we
cannot allow ourselves to do that, that close to the merge window.

So disable the RSDP parsing code temporarily until it is fixed properly
in the next release cycle.

x86/boot/compressed/64: Find a place for 32-bit trampoline

If a bootloader enables 64-bit mode with 4-level paging, we might need to
switch over to 5-level paging. The switching requires the disabling of
paging, which works fine if kernel itself is loaded below 4G.

But if the bootloader puts the kernel above 4G (not sure if anybody does
this), we would lose control as soon as paging is disabled, because the
code becomes unreachable to the CPU.

To handle the situation, we need a trampoline in lower memory that would
take care of switching on 5-level paging.

This patch finds a spot in low memory for a trampoline.

The heuristic is based on code in reserve_bios_regions().

We find the end of low memory based on BIOS and EBDA start addresses.
The trampoline is put just before end of low memory. It's mimic approach
taken to allocate memory for realtime trampoline.
